General Instructions

Your Weber Gas Barbecue is a portable outdoor

cooking appliance. With the Weber Gas Barbecue you

can grill, barbecue, roast and bake with results that are

difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The

closed lid and Flavorizer® Bars produce that “outdoor”

flavor in the food.

The Weber Gas Barbecue is portable so you can

easily change its location in your yard or on your patio.

Portability means you can take your Weber Gas

Barbecue with you if you move.

The natural gas supply is easy to use and gives you

more cooking control than charcoal fuel.

• These instructions will give you the minimum

requirements for assembling your Weber Gas

Barbecue. Please read the instructions carefully

before using your Weber Gas Barbecue. Improper

assembly can be dangerous.

• Not for use by children.

• If there are local codes that apply to portable gas

grills, you will have to conform to them. If there are

no local codes, you must conform to the latest

edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z

223.1.

• This Weber Gas Barbecue is designed for natural

(piped in city) gas only. Do not use liquid propane

(LP) bottled gas. The valves, orifices and hose are

for natural gas only.

• Do not use with charcoal fuel.

• Check that the area under the control panel and

the bottom tray are free from debris that might

obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

For Installation in Canada

These instructions, while generally acceptable, do not

necessarily comply with the Canadian Installation

codes, particularly with piping above and below

ground. In Canada the installation of this appliance

must comply with local codes and/or Standards CAN/

CGA-B149.1 (Installation Code for Natural Gas

Burning Appliances and Equipment).

Storage

• The gas must be turned OFF at the natural gas

supply when the Weber Gas Barbecue is not in

use.

• When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors,

the gas supply must be disconnected.

Operating

m WARNING: Only use this barbecue outdoors in a

well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage,

building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

m WARNING: Never use your Weber Gas Barbecue

under an unprotected combustible roof or

overhang.

m WARNING: Your Weber Gas Barbecue is not

intended to be installed in or on recreational

vehicles and/or boats.

m WARNING: Do not use combustible materials

within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides

of the grill.

m WARNING: The entire cooking box gets hot

when in use. Do not leave unattended.

m WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and

the fuel supply hose away from any heated

surface.

m WARNING: Keep the cooking area clear of

flammable vapors and liquids, such as gasoline,

alcohol, etc., and combustible materials.

Gas Supply Testing

• Disconnect your Weber Gas Barbecue when the

gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This

appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system

during any pressure testing of that system at test

pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

• Turn OFF your Weber Gas Barbecue when the gas

supply is being tested at low pressures. This

appliance must be isolated from the gas supply

piping system by closing its individual manual

shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the

gas supply piping system at the pressure equal to

or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Your Weber Gas Grill Manifold assembly consisting of

gas manifold, valves and gas burners has been factory

assembled, pressure- and flame- tested. As a safety

precaution, we recommend you check the burner

alignment:

1) Are the ends of the burners under the washers at

the left rear and left front of the cooking box? The

screws are only guides. Do not tighten.

2) Do the valves fit into the ends of the burners?

3) Are the wing nuts under the burner assembly hand

tight? Do not tighten with pliers.

If you answered YES to 1, 2 and 3, the burners are

correctly aligned. If you answered NO, the burners are

misaligned. Contact the Customer Service Represen-

tative in your region using the contact information

sheet provided with your manual. Do not use grill.

Install Gas Supply

General Specifications for Piping

Note - Contact your local municipality for building

codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installa-

tions. In absence of Local Codes, you must con-

firm to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. WE REC-

OMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY

A PROFESSIONAL.

Some of the following are general requirements taken

from ANISI Z223.1 latest edition for complete specifi-

cations.

■ This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of

water column pressure (.2526 psi).

■ A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors,

immediately ahead of the quick disconnect.

■ An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should

be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible

location near the supply line

■ The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT

thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect

fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically

shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the

barbecue is disconnected

■ The quick disconnect fitting can be installed horizon-

tally, or pointing downward. Installing the fitting with the

open end pointing upward can result in collecting

water and debris.

■ The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep

the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean

while disconnected.

■ Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to

the action of natural gas when connections are made.

■ The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to

rigid, permanent construction.

 WARNING: Do not route the 12 foot hose under

a deck. The hose must be visible.

Gas Line Piping

■ If the length of the line required does not exceed 50

feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be

used for lengths greater than 50 feet.

■ Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L;

polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thick-

ness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40)

steel or wrought iron pipe.

■ Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains

more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic

feet of gas.

■ Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, under-

ground use.

■ Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other

material which may corrode the piping, must be

protected against corrosion in an approved manner.

■ Underground piping must have a minimum of 18"

cover

Test Connections

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested

for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed

procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1
